i have project and i want to move a motor to left and right white board that connect to serial port and i think i must use mscomm but i dont know what am i doing. plz help me. thank u.

 

I presume that you have electronics of some kind that can accept serial communications commands. You can use the MSCOMM object in VB.

Do the following:
1. Set up the MSCOMM.PORTNo to match the port you are using.
2. Use the MSCOMM.Settings proprerty to set the baud rate, parity and stop bits, etc. Like "9600,n,8,1" for 9600 Baud, No parity 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
3. Use the MSCOMM.Output property to send the command to the electronics board. If the Electronics is supposed to send a reply immediately execute an Mscomm.Input in a loop to get back the required characters.

If you need more help please email me.

There is a good demo in the Samples section of Microsoft Help & Support:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;140880 (Search for article 140880 if the link breaks)

That will give you a starting point. From there, search for "serial API" on the Microsoft web site and you will find several more articles. Look for the links that start with 'msdn'.

Sealevel Systems (http://www.sealevel.com) includes help files and code samples for C++ and VB on the CD that ships with their serial products.

Hi,

I am trying to address a LANC device for which I have built a converter. This system works when I am using Hyperteminal

For example the code for starting the VCR is 1034 Now How do I implement that in Visual Basisc?

This will set the port number baud rate and open the port then send the data out the port. If you would like more help email me and I can help you with the app

MSComm1.CommPort = "1"
MSComm1.Settings = "9600,N,8,1"
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
MSComm1.Output = "1034"
